PET Preform Market Analysis
The PET Preform Market size is estimated at USD 22.86 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 25.53 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 2.23% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nationwide lockdowns worldwide and disruptions across manufacturing activities, supply chains, and production halts negatively impacted the PET preforms market in 2020. However, the conditions recovered in 2021, restoring the market's growth trajectory.
- Over the short term, the increasing demand from the food and beverage application segment and high consumption of carbonated soft drinks and water are the major factors driving the demand for PET preforms.
- However, recycling issues due to large-scale waste production are expected to hinder the market's growth.
- Nevertheless, increasing usage of recycled PET in preforms is expected to create new opportunities for the PET preforms market.
- Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market, with the majority of demand coming from China and India.
PET Preform Market Trends
Carbonated Soft Drinks and Water to Dominate the Market
- As demand for PET bottles surges in the food and beverage industry, carbonated soft drinks and water emerge as the leading applications.
- PET preforms, favored for their lightweight nature, specialized performance, and extended shelf life, are the go-to choice for packaging carbonated soft drinks. As consumption of carbonated and other soft drinks rises, so does the market's momentum.
- PET, much like glass, boasts hygiene, strength, and resistance to microorganisms. It remains inert with various beverages and is biologically stable. Esteemed health authorities, including the European Directive EC 98/1983, US EPA, UNESDA Soft Drinks Europe, EFSA, and WHO, endorse its safety for beverage use.
- PET packaging solutions not only uphold product integrity for carbonated soft drinks and water but also enhance supply chain efficiency, reducing both downtime and costs.
- According to data from Krones AG, a German manufacturer of packaging and bottling machines, global consumption of carbonated soft drinks hit 250.4 billion liters in 2023. Additionally, in 2023, consumption of bottled water surpassed 500 billion liters, solidifying its status as the world's most consumed packaged beverage.
- Data from the KNAV revealed that in 2023, carbonated beverages constituted over 40% of the Indian non-alcoholic drinks market. The Indian soft drinks landscape is multifaceted, encompassing carbonated drinks, packaged water, juices, nectars, and still drinks. Notably, carbonated drinks dominate, boasting a market size of INR 567 billion (~USD 6.8 billion) in 2023.
- Beverage Digest, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, highlighted a bullish trend in the US soft drinks market, forecasting annual sales to reach USD 388 billion by 2025.
- In 2023, the total consumption of beverages in Europe was 131,917.2 million liters. Total consumption of soft drinks amounted to 5,1905.7 million liters, and packaged drinking water consumption amounted to 63,127.3 million liters, as per data from the Union of European Beverages Associations (UNESDA).
- According to Germany Trade and Invest, Germany is leading the European soft drinks market and anticipates its demand for non-alcoholic beer to hit EUR 1.8 billion by 2025. This expected growth in demand will likely affect the need for PET products in the German market.
- Given these dynamics, the PET preforms market is set for growth during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market
- Asia-Pacific commands a significant share of the global PET preforms market, driven by rising consumption across diverse applications, including food and dairy, carbonated soft drinks, water, personal care, and alcoholic beverages. This trend positions the region as a likely market leader over the coming years.
- China boasts one of the world's largest food industries. The country is poised for steady growth, fueled by a surge in customized packaging for items like microwave meals, snacks, and frozen foods, coupled with a boost in exports.
- China's packaging industry is on track to achieve a remarkable valuation of USD 0.29 trillion by 2025. Additionally, data from Interpak indicated that the foodstuff packaging industry in China was set to hit 447 billion units in 2023. Such bullish trends in packaging are anticipated to bolster the demand for PET preforms in the country.
- As reported by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the cosmetics industry has seen rapid expansion over the past decade. In 2023, retail sales of cosmetics in China reached approximately CNY 414.17 billion (~USD 58.4 billion), marking a modest uptick from the prior year.
- South Korea ranks among the top ten global beauty markets, celebrated for its innovation, use of natural ingredients, and attractive packaging. As per data from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), Korea's cosmetics exports hit USD 8.5 billion in 2023, securing it the fourth position globally.
- According to the Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), India ranks 40th globally in alcoholic beverage exports. With international demand for Indian spirits on the rise, the government aims to bolster both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage exports, targeting a milestone of USD 1 billion (~ INR 8,000 crore) in the coming years.
- Data from APEDA reveals that India's alcoholic beverage exports reached over INR 22,000 million (~USD 224 million) for the 2023-2024 period. Key export markets included the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Netherlands, Tanzania, Angola, Kenya, and Rwanda, further propelling the Indian market's growth.
- Given the surging demand across various industries, the Asia-Pacific PET preforms market is set to thrive over the foreseeable future.
